December Newsletter

Welcome to December News!

December and the season of advent has snuck up on us all and caught us unprepared yet again! With so much to cram into the year, December can often feel like the final hurdle that has to be navigated before we collapse in a heap after Christmas lunch!
As you can see from our photo gallery, the last few days at Personal Best have been incredibly busy too and we are in much need of the Christmas break! But with new brochures, website, vouchers and posters to create as well as the usual happenings in clinic and studio there is a lot to do! On top of this Kristine managed to squeeze in a seminar on foot and ankle mechanics at the Cobalt unit in Cheltenham. And first thing on Thursday morning she was in full scrubs watching one of her patients having shoulder surgery at the Winfield in Gloucester.

The weekend was then dedicated to refurbishing, Christmas decorations, organising a photo shoot and a bit of modelling! But the good news is that we are now all prepared and almost ready to show you all the fruits of our labour! And so the team at PB are really looking forward to their Christmas party on Saturday night!

Natural Facial Treatments!

Improving your wellness isn’t all hard work. It’s important to take some time out for unashamed pampering – and we’ve got just the thing...

Skin, looks and feels best when it’s relaxed, well-hydrated and nurtured by good circulation. So we’ve added a touch of pure indulgence to our treatment list.
Following a consultation to determine your skin type and needs, our specialist will prepare a bespoke facial designed especially for you using the very best natural products. Rich in plant and anti-oxidant botanicals, these nourish and calm the skin, working gently yet effectively to relax, rejuvenate and restore.
These treatments incorporates oriental facial massage, so by the time you leave, your skin will be glowing and fresh.

From January 12th 2016 we are delighted to announce that Sybil Watson will be offering Bespoke Natural Facials.

Sybil believes your skin looks its best when it is relaxed, well hydrated and has good circulation. Working with Herbfarmacy natural products, and guidance from Georgie Britt, Sybil has designed her facials to incorporate neck and shoulder massage, reflexology and oriental facial massage.
The products have been carefully chosen and are both nourishing and calming to the skin, rich in plant and anti-oxidant botanicals and are subtle yet very effective. Natural beauty products work with the skin not against it. You should leave with radiant skin that is glowing and fresh.
Treatments are available on Thursday and Friday mornings as well as alternate Saturday’s. (Other days and times may be available by mutual agreement)
As a special introductory offer we are offering25% off all Herbfarmacy facials until February 14th. (VOUCHERS MAY BE BOUGHT NOW AND MUST BE REDEEMED BEFORE THE 14TH FEBRUARY).

Farewell to Megan & Luke but HELLO to a new Personal Best brochure!

As our year draws to a close and final pieces of our 2016 plans are put into place, it is with great sadness that we say goodbye to two of our team.
Our sports massage therapist Megan Wallis is leaving us to embark on a Masters degree in Manchester whilst our personal training Luke, is moving to a new venture in Cheltenham! We wish both Luke and Megan every success in their future plans and thank them for all their efforts and dedication over the past year.

HELLO Personal Best brochure & looking forward to a new 2016!!

Christmas is a great time for reflection and as we look back over the year that has passed there are so many memorable moments.
Since early summer, we have been working hard on creating a new brochure for our business and we are delighted with the final results! If Santa and his team are not overloaded with Amazon deliveries, we hope to have the new brochure in house by Christmas! We also have great plans for 2016 and hope to mark our 15th Anniversary in style and we hope that you will be able to join us at some of the events that are planned!

Gift Boxes

We have put together several gift boxes of Herbfarmacy products, ranging in price from £20 - £60. Bespoke boxes can be created and vouchers can be added to make your gift extra special!

New Classes

More and more people are feeling the benefit of our Stretch classes and we are delighted to announce that our Thursday evening stretch class is now full! To meet the demand, we are adding an extra class on Thursday evenings!

Starting Thursday 3rd December@ 6.30pm and 7.30pm we will be running two regular stretch classes for all ages and abilities. Our Stretch classes are based on the ‘movement is medicine’ principle. By mobilising joints and strengthening muscles, they combat the effects of modern lifestyles that limit our range of movement and contribute to pain and discomfort. And when you can move better, you move more.

If you wish to join either of these classes, please email [email protected] or contact the studio as soon as possible. Spaces are limited to 8 per class, as we prefer this to be a ‘stretch class’ as opposed to a ‘squeeze’ class!

If something more dynamic and explosive is required you might be interested in this! As our Friday 12pm circuit class is often oversubscribed, we will be adding an extra Friday lunchtime circuit class @ 1pm from January 8th.

If you are planning on giving your new year’s health and well being goals a kick start then this is a great place to start!
